VALDEZ PINK SALMON BAG LIMIT RAISED TO 12 PER DAY ON JUNE 30
Because of a strong return, the bag limit for pink salmon Valdez-area salt waters will increase to 12 pink salmon per day and 24 in possession, effective 12:01 a.m. Thursday, June 30, 2005.
This increase targets pink salmon returning to the Valdez Fisheries Development Association’s Solomon Gulch Hatchery at the head of Port Valdez, and includes the salt waters of Valdez Arm north of a line from Point Freemantle to Rocky Point, but does not include Jack, Sawmill and Galena bays.
Fresh water salmon closures remain in effect. Snagging is allowed only in the salt waters.
